A bitter sweet episode, and seriously, the last episode of the current, listening series. Bitter sweet because we say good bye to Brandon Robinson, our co-host during the last year plus. Jason helps draw out Brandon’s journey as he shares about his time as co-host, but more importantly, how he listened to himself. How he listened to his heart’s desire, lined this up with God’s will for his next life chapter and finally, following the path that God has called him to. We can all learn something from this episode on how to listen to God’s call on our life. For complete show notes, click HERE
